Chapter 523 - 323: Magical Imperial Beast_2
The grand elder of the Overseas Hidden Realm, accompanied by his tamed beast, landed on the flying sword. Li Ming had not used the power of space-time to hide it from him, so the flying sword, which had just been non-existent in the seagull’s eyes, was now solidly beneath the grand elder.
After the elder had landed on the flying sword, he felt an intense connection with the seagull, and especially felt the surge of a new strength within his body—he was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t help but to excitedly clasp his fist to Li Ming, "I am fortunate to have met Mr. Li, who not only tamed the whale dragon that had become too powerful for us to control, due to its consumption of our cultivation crystals, but also used the power of the Five Elements to reverse the fortunes of life, allowing my winter which had already vanished to grow anew, and even added one more hidden realm to my existing count. This favor of creation, Lin Haiyuan will never forget, and from this moment on, I am willing to follow you wholeheartedly!"
At the beginning of my venture at sea, when I encountered the whale dragon, my heart was excited, harboring a gamble like thought of trying to seize the formidable beast without considering the gap between us, or our compatibility, I insisted on making my move.
As a result, upon taking action, I lost the core of my hidden realm, and failed to tame the beast. Instead, the whale dragon obtained the core of my hidden realm, absorbed my cultivation, and became even stronger, to the point where it was uncontrollable.
Fortunately, although the core of my first hidden realm was gone, the cores of the other realms were still intact. Even though I had lost the support of the most powerful tamed beast, the positions for the second, third, fourth, and fifth tamed beasts remained.
Moreover, with my own cultivation of the Overseas Hidden Realm’s taming techniques, there was still hope. If I calmed down and properly tamed some beasts with good innate abilities, cultivating them patiently, I could still have bright prospects ahead.
However, who would have imagined that the whale dragon’s time-space power would be so terrifyingly strong that I had no choice but to detonate all my hidden realms, gaining twenty years of breathing space to seek another solution to this disaster of my own making.
But from that moment on, with all the hidden realms lost and devoid of the ability to tame beasts, the decades of expertise in taming became useless. Although I could switch to other methods of cultivation, with the loss of so many years of accumulation, my future prospects were painfully clear.
I had almost completely forfeited the qualification to become a top cultivator.
Yet, when all seemed lost, fortune fell from the heavens, and an intense life force unreasonably infused into my body, reversing the extinguished hidden realms. Not only were the destroyed realms fully restored, but each realm had become twice as strong as before, and another was added on top.
